In many English classes, conflicts appear in fiction: short stories, novels, and plays. But conflicts--both internal and external--also play a part in our daily lives and become part of our narratives. In fact, a personal narrative (an essay about a personal experience) revolves around a central conflict. Often, the conflict is caused by internal or external forces, and the narrator reveals how the problem was resolved. In this seminar, you will learn more about internal and external conflicts and how both contribute to our human experience. In the process, you will continue to analyze the perspectives of the people involved in the conflict, striving to accurately portray their roles in your narrative.Standards CC.1.4.9-10.MWrite narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events.CC.1.4.9-10.NEngage and orient the reader by setting out a problem, situation, or observation, establishing one or multiple points of view, and introducing a narrator and/or characters.CC.1.4.9-10.PCreate a smooth progression of experiences or events using a variety of techniques to sequence events so that they build on one another to create a coherent whole; provide a conclusion that follows from and reflects on what is experienced, observed, or resolved over the course of the narrative.

Student pairs reverse engineer objects of their choice, learning what it takes to be an engineer. Groups each make a proposal, create a team work contract, use tools to disassemble a device, and sketch and document their full understanding of how it works. They compile what they learned into a manual and write-up that summarizes the object's purpose, bill of materials and operation procedure with orthographic and isometric sketches. Then they apply some of the steps of the engineering design process to come up with ideas for how the product or device could be improved for the benefit of the end user, manufacturer and/or environment. They describe and sketch their ideas for re-imagined designs (no prototyping or testing is done). To conclude, teams compile full reports and then recap their reverse engineering projects and investigation discoveries in brief class presentations. A PowerPoint(TM) presentation, written report and oral presentation rubrics, and peer evaluation form are provided.

Lastly, an example of a reflection exercise for medical education is also added. 

In space, where the stakes are high, how does one write? After all, the ink in pens isn't held down by gravity, so how do you write upside down?

Language study can be divided into four parts: reading, speaking, listening, and writing. Where reasonable, we try to make use of and develop all four of these skills. Through practice, students can become well rounded and increasingly proficient at expressing themselves in English and more generally in their lives. In this book, we focus on critical thinking and clean writing.The last four chapters are a short introduction to philosophy, and they can be a significant leap in difficulty compared with prior chapters.
